Flat Patch Cable V2 (FPC-415)
Couldn't load pickup availability
The IVU Creator Flat Patch Cable V2 (FPC-415) is a 15 cm (about 6 in) pedalboard patch cable with two low-profile, right-angle 6.35 mm (1/4 in) TS plugs. Its flat plug housings reduce the space used between adjacent effects pedals, while the shielded 24 AWG copper cable is flexible and is described by IVU Creator as rejecting EMI and RFI.
What is the FPC-415 flat patch cable?
FPC-415 is a short mono audio cable for connecting one guitar effects pedal to the next on a pedalboard. Both ends use right-angle TS plugs, so the cable is intended for adjacent devices with standard 6.35 mm / 1/4-inch unbalanced audio jacks.

How does the flat plug save pedalboard space?
The low-profile housing keeps the connector body close to the pedal instead of projecting far beyond the jack. This can help place neighboring pedals closer together, but the exact fit depends on each pedal's jack position, enclosure shape and nearby power or audio connectors.
Which pedals and jacks are compatible with FPC-415?
Use FPC-415 for mono pedal audio connections that specify a 6.35 mm / 1/4-inch TS plug. The cable is not a DC power lead, and a TS plug does not provide the extra conductor used by TRS stereo or balanced connections.
| Connection | Fit guidance |
|---|---|
| Pedal output to pedal input | Suitable when both jacks use standard 6.35 mm / 1/4-inch TS audio connections |
| Side- or top-mounted pedal jacks | Measure the 15 cm reach and allow about 36 × 15 mm for each plug housing |
| TRS stereo or balanced jack | Not a full TRS connection; check the equipment manual before use |
| Expression or control jack | Use only when the device specifically calls for a TS cable |
| DC power input | Not compatible; use the power cable specified by the pedal manufacturer |

How do I connect FPC-415 on a pedalboard?
- Turn down the amplifier and switch off the pedalboard before changing audio connections.
- Confirm that the source pedal output and destination pedal input both specify 6.35 mm / 1/4-inch TS audio plugs.
- Check that the 15 cm cable reaches both jacks without stretching and that each 36 × 15 mm housing clears nearby plugs.
- Insert both right-angle plugs fully, then route the cable without a tight fold, sharp kink or pull on either jack.
- Power the rig back on at low volume and test the new connection before securing the final pedalboard layout.
- If noise remains, check the power supply, grounding, nearby adapters and the rest of the signal chain; shielding cannot remove every noise source.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the FPC-415 patch cable?
FPC-415 is 15 cm long, which is about 6 inches. Measure the actual path between pedal jacks rather than only the straight-line distance between enclosures.
Are both plugs right-angle connectors?
Yes. The product images show right-angle 6.35 mm / 1/4-inch TS plugs at both ends. Each plug housing is labeled at about 36 × 15 mm.
Is FPC-415 a TS or TRS patch cable?
FPC-415 uses TS plugs for mono, unbalanced pedal audio connections. It should not be treated as a TRS stereo or balanced cable.
Does the cable eliminate pedalboard noise?
No cable can guarantee a noise-free pedalboard. IVU Creator states that the shield helps reject EMI and RFI, but power supplies, grounding, gain settings and nearby electrical devices can also create noise.
Do the Gold, Black and Chameleon finishes sound different?
No finish-specific sound difference is published. Select Gold, Black or Multicolor in the current store options according to the appearance you want.
Is FPC-415 right for your pedalboard?
Choose FPC-415 when you need a short, dual-right-angle TS patch cable between adjacent effects pedals. Before ordering, confirm the 15 cm reach, 6.35 mm TS connection and 36 × 15 mm plug clearance for your exact pedal layout.
